2018-04-09syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming conventionDominik Brodowski7-200/+205
Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. For the generic case, this means: t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c) __do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work # (takes original parameters as declared) T __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined # helper (takes parameters of type long, # casts them to unsigned long and then to # the declared type) T compat_sys_waitid # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid() # (taking parameters as declared), to # be included in syscall table For x86, the naming is as follows: t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c) __do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work # (takes original parameters as declared) t __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined # helper (takes parameters of type long, # casts them to unsigned long and then to # the declared type) T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid # IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub, # calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be # included in syscall table T __x32_compat_sys_waitid # x32 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls # __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included # in syscall table If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid() may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

2018-04-05syscalls/x86: Extend register clearing on syscall entry to lower registersDominik Brodowski2-0/+8
To reduce the chance that random user space content leaks down the call chain in registers, also clear lower registers on syscall entry: For 64-bit syscalls, extend the register clearing in PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS to %dx and %cx. This should not hurt at all, also on the other callers of that macro. We do not need to clear %rdi and %rsi for syscall entry, as those registers are used to pass the parameters to do_syscall_64(). For the 32-bit compat syscalls, do_int80_syscall_32() and do_fast_syscall_32() each only take one parameter. Therefore, extend the register clearing to %dx, %cx, and %si in entry_SYSCALL_compat and entry_INT80_compat.

2018-04-05syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32Dominik Brodowski6-380/+509
Extend ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER for i386 emulation and for x32 on 64-bit x86. For x32, all we need to do is to create an additional stub for each compat syscall which decodes the parameters in x86-64 ordering, e.g.: asmlinkage long __compat_sys_x32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs) { return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx); } For i386 emulation, we need to teach compat_sys_*() to take struct pt_regs as its only argument, e.g.: asmlinkage long __compat_sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs) { return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx); } In addition, we need to create additional stubs for common syscalls (that is, for syscalls which have the same parameters on 32-bit and 64-bit), e.g.: asmlinkage long __sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs) { return c_sys_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx); } This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down the call chain.

2018-04-05syscalls/core: Prepare CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y for compat syscallsDominik Brodowski4-3/+48
It may be useful for an architecture to override the definitions of the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() and __COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros in <linux/compat.h>, in particular to use a different calling convention for syscalls. This patch provides a mechanism to do so, based on the previously introduced CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER. If it is enabled, <asm/sycall_wrapper.h> is included in <linux/compat.h> and may be used to define the macros mentioned above. Moreover, as the syscall calling convention may be different if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is set, the compat syscall function prototypes in <linux/compat.h> are #ifndef'd out in that case. As some of the syscalls and/or compat syscalls may not be present, the COND_SYSCALL() and COND_SYSCALL_COMPAT() macros in kernel/sys_ni.c as well as the SYS_NI() and COMPAT_SYS_NI() macros in kernel/time/posix-stubs.c can be re-defined in <asm/syscall_wrapper.h> iff CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is enabled.

2018-04-05syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for 64-bit syscallsDominik Brodowski8-3/+120
Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems: Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g: asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs) { return SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx); } This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down the call chain. For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly now is (in slightly reordered fashion): <sys_recv>: callq <__fentry__> /* decode regs->di, ->si, ->dx and ->r10 */ mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx [ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler, as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ] /* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */ xor %r9d,%r9d xor %r8d,%r8d /* do the actual work */ callq __sys_recvfrom /* cleanup and return */ cltq retq The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well. To keep the syscall table generation working independent of SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the "original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*(). This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept | From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> | Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being, and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.

2018-04-02bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systemsOmar Sandoval1-5/+17
Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are constants aligned to a byte. This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a big-endian machine. We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

2018-04-02bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injectionHoward McLauchlan2-0/+6
Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space error paths effectively. The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a given pid: from bcc import BPF from sys import argv pid = argv[1] prog = r""" int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags) { u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(); if (pid == %s) bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM); return 0; } """ % pid b = BPF(text=prog) while 1: b.perf_buffer_poll() This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.
